Discussions of play and playgrounds

Why I am writing this blog

This blog has only been active for a week and it already has a substantial following. I want to thank you for joining. As you may know, I recently became a columnist for Playground Magazine. As I understand it the readership of Playground Magazine is composed largely members of the playground industry. As such it provides a platform for discussing how that industry could begin to introduce more beneficial products and services.

As I have stated previously I do not see playground manufacturers as bad guys. Quite the contrary. However I think it is inappropriate for me to include my more radical thinking there, at least not without having those ideas given broader circulation so that they are better grounded. The purpose of this blog therefore is to discuss ideas that are fairly radical and to get reactions and thoughts from other play advocates.
